Usborne Illustrated Guide to Greek and Norse Legends (Myths & legends)

Amazing book that I've been looking for since I was a child. The illustrations are stunning. I can't praise it enough!

Love Rodney Matthews illustrations in this book which is why I got it in the first place. It's very visual for my children too with fantastic myths.

pictures too scary for my grandkids...stories good

In good condition as described.

I got this book when I was about 9 years old, and I read it cover to cover I don't know how many times. The artwork is simply stunning, with the myths concise and exciting enough to pique a child's interest and then some! I'm now in my 30s and pleased to see that it's still for sale, and bringing joy to the newer generations that it brought me. A perfect gift for any child who is into mythology or enjoys reading

This is a really good book if you are interested in both Greek and Norse mythology. It covers all of the major myths in their most common setting and the Whos Who guide for both is a great asset if you just want to know how to pronouse names or what someone was famous for. It does not cover everything naturally since it is about both Greek and Norse, but is a great buy none the less.

I picked this book up when I was young from the library, and ever since I've been hooked on myths and legends. It's a brilliant book, with a brief outline of all the major Greek and Norse myths. Best of all, there's a who's-who guide at the back of the book explaining the major characters, their histories and their destinies. This books great, the art's fantastic, and is the best buy for any young kids who want to know the histories of all the Greek and Norse gods.

I had this book as a kid and loved it then; now that I have a kid of my own and am working on building his library, I knew I had to find a copy of this for him. This book is extremely readable and packed with information on all the classic myths (for any parents out there who are familiar with some of these myths, don't worry, they gloss over some of the more explicit details of ancient Greek relationships, so there's nothing in there that is inappropriate for children). My husband is an RPG gamer and picked this up when it arrived and flipped through it, then sat down and read the whole thing and now wants to know why I didn't get a copy for HIM before now.

présenté sur le site comme un livre à 99 euros, neuf. A ce prix, je m'attendais à un très bel ouvrage, alors que c'est en fait un petit livre pour enfants. Une belle arnaque sur la présentation du livre!

I remember reading this book in elementary school...I couldn't remember what it was called, only that I had checked it out a million times from the school library as a child and that it had the minotaur on the front. The art is just fantastic and there's quite a few stories to keep you entertained.

This is one of my son's favorite books. It is always hard to find, when I do find one. He loves it for so many reasons. I reads so many Mythology books and he really loves this one. I would refer this one to a friend.

I love the illustrations! Thought I'd never be able to get another copy after I gave mine to a grandson. This second copy is in almost perfect shape!
